| schestowitz | debian stable does not run on new hardware. have you ever tried to get some fairly new hardware to simply run on a fairly new piece of hardware and leave it running for monhts without attendance? ubuntu has a good qa process and the quality of releases has improved quite a bit (compare with fedora or other popular distros). | Jan 27 01:04 |
| schestowitz | but the actual question you all should be asking yourself is, why always bash canonical when it is such a small company and still being foss oriented? if you don't agree fine, but to compare them to m$ is like the nazi-comparison. tired of studying a complex problem? just equalize your opponent with some historically evil force and you are done... guess with whom that puts you in a boat :-P keep the vision focused on some | Jan 27 01:04 |

| schestowitz | Analyses show that the General Public License v2.0 and v3 (GPL2 and GPL3) are incompatible with FRAND terms, because they pass rights to the next user of the software in a cascade, without the need of obtaining a license from the original IPR owner. GPL2 and GPL 3 also presuppose royalty-free licensing, which clashes with royalty-bearing FRAND. | Jan 27 09:43 |
